CV2
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Resolution
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. _______, amending the Program
Year 2022 Community Development Block Grant Allocations for CDBG -CV2.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Department of Commerce CDBG-CV2 is $145,090
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Division in the Community
Economic and Development Department applied for CDBG-CV2 funds through
the Department of Commerce. Staff was notified in September 2021 that the
application was approved to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus
through Micro-enterprise Assistance.
The need was less than anticipated, so staff prepared an amendment to the
scope of work in May 2022 from Micro-enterprise Assistance to an eligible public
service activity for seniors through the Pasco Meals on Wheels program.
This eligible public service activity will benefit approximately 18,000 persons and
target services to principally low-moderate income (LMI) based on the HUD
presumed benefit special group - the elderly.
In accordance with federal regulations, citizen participation requirements are
required. Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Tri-City Herald and in Tu
Page 21 of 173
Decides on April 25, 2022 for public comment for the amendment to the scope
of work with the comment period ending June 16, 2022. No comments were
received.
Guidance from the Department of Commerce cautions grantees to use
community partners that are already familiar with the use of CDBG/HOME funds
to avoid training or qualifying new subrecipients. Using the reprogrammed funds
for the existing Meals on Wheels program is a desirable and timely option as this
particular HUD Grant expires on June 30, 2023.
V. DISCUSSION:
This item was discussed at the July 11, 2022, Council Workshop and staff
recommends the approval of the amended 2022 Community Development Block
Grant Allocation for CDBG-CV2.

Executed Land Use Agreement
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. _________, authorizing the City
Manager to execute the Land Use Agreement Supplement No. 1 with The United
States of America, Department of Energy, Bonneville Power Administration for
the Process Water Reuse Facility Phase 1 Project.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no cost associated with this supplement.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On June 11, 2019, the City executed a Land Use Agreement with the United
States of America, Department of Energy, Bonneville Power Administration
(BPA) requesting BPA's permission to use portions of the real property subject
to the BPA Easement for three (3) underground wastewater pipeline crossings
as part of the Foster Wells Force Main project, which is related to the Process
Water Reuse Facility (PWRF).
The BPA easement extends across the southwest corner of the City-owned
parcel for the PWRF (Parcel ID: 113090085). The BPA easement is a 100 -foot-
wide easement extending in a southeast-northwest direction. This easement
Page 25 of 173
hosts overhead transmission lines extending from Franklin County to the
Hanford area, in Benton County.
As future improvements are planned for the PWRF, supplements to the existing
Land Use License with BPA are necessary.
City Staff has coordinated with BPA for the supplement of the pre viously
executed Land Use Agreement to include additional utilities, as part of the PWRF
Pretreatment Improvements Phase 1 project.
The proposed additional utilities to be installed crossing the BPA easement
consist of:
• One (1) underground 20” waterline
• Two (2) underground wastewater pipeline
• Two (2) underground power lines
• One (1) underground fiber line
V. DISCUSSION:
This supplement will allow for the installation of utilities within the BPA easement
area as part of the PWRF Phase 1 Project. Given the alignment of the BPA
easement, there is no alternative layout for the utilities that would prevent
crossing BPA’s easement.
The PWRF Pretreatment improvements Phase 1 project plans and specifications
are consistent with the Terms and Conditions associated with this Land-use
license.
This item was discussed at the July 11, 2022, Council Workshop meeting. City
staff recommends approval of the attached Land Use Agreement Supplement
No. 1 for the improvements associated with the PWRF Pretreatment
Improvements Phase 1 Project.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
City Council representation is required and/or desired on a number of municipal
and regional boards and committees. The practice of the City Council has been
to make Council appointments to the various boards and committees on a
biennial basis; thus, appointments generally are for a two-year term, but not
limited to one term. Changes to these appointments, if necessary, can be made
at any time by action of the Mayor with confirmation of the City Council.
The Mayor's 2022-2023 Council assignments to various community boards and
committees was confirmed by Council at their January 18, 2022 through
Resolution No. 4139.

No. 3 at the end of May 2022 and the vacancy was posted. At their July 11, 2022
Special Meeting, Council appointed Irving Brown, Sr. to Position No. 3.

Proposed Ordinance
Exhibit A - Hearing Examiner Recommendation
Exhibit B - Map
Report to Hearing Examiner Dated: June 8, 2022
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. ____, approving a rezone to Lots 2 &
3, Short Plat 99-22 from RT to C-3, and, further, authorize publication by
summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On June 8, 2022, the the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing to consider a
request to rezone property located east of Heritage Boulevard and north of East
Lewis Street in Pasco, Washington from RT (Residential Transition) to C -3
(General Business).
Following the conduct of the public hearing, the Hearing Examiner
recommended approval of the applicant's request for a rezone.
No appeals of this recommendation have been received.
Page 52 of 173
V. DISCUSSION:
Applicant is seeking to rezone the property at 3004 E George Street from RT
(Residential Transition) to C-3 (General Business) consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan designation for the property.
The previous owners of the subject property applied for a n identical rezone in
2018 (Z 2018-005) but withdrew their application between Planning Commission
review and City Council action.
Staff has invited the property owner to the north to participate in the rezone, as
that property was part of the prior project. That property owner has agreed to be
part of the rezone process.
The current RT zoning designation does not lend itself well to development of
the properties. Under the current Comprehensive Plan land use designation of
Commercial - the properties could be zoned for “O”, C-1, C-3, CR, and BP
zoning.
As the requested C-3 Zone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, staff
recommends approval of the proposed ordinance.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW,
AND RECOMMENDED DECISION
Z 2022-003
Chaher
THIS MATTER having come on for hearing in front of the City of Pasco Hearing Examiner on June
8, 2022, the Hearing Examiner having taken evidence hereby submits the following Recommended
Findings of Fact, Recommended Conclusions of Law, and Recommended Decision as follows:
I.RECOMMENDED FINDINGS OF FACT
1.PROPERTY/APPLICATION DESCRIPTION:
1.1 Legal: Lot 2, Short Plat 99-22 (Parcel #113780104).
1.2 General Location: 3004 East George Street.
1.3 Property Size: 4.77 acres (207,785.51 square feet)
1.4 Applicant: Vinod Kumar Chaher, 4623 Tamarisk Dr., Pasco WA 99301. 1.5 Request: RT (Residential Transition) to C-3 (General Commercial).
2.ACCESS: The site has access from East Lewis Street via an access easement (A very Drive;
formerly Pasco Kahlotus Highway).
3.UTILITIES: The site is currently serviced by a well and on-site septic. Water is available
via a 12" line roughly 400 feet to the west running along the Avery A venue centerline, and a
6" line approximately 600 feet to the south on East Lewis Street; there is an 8" sewer lineapproximately 1,000 feet to the southwest at the comer of Heritage Boulevard and East Lewis
Street.
4.LAND USE AND ZONING: The lot is currently zoned RT (Residential Transition) and
contains one single family unit, a garage, and three outbuildings; a manufactured home was
recently removed from the site. Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows:
North: RT SFDU
East: C-3 Vacant
South: I-1/C-1 Industrial
West: I-1 Industrial
5.COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for Commercial
uses. Those portions of the community designated for commercial development by the
Comprehensive Plan could be zone "0", C-1, C-2, C-3 CR and BP. Land Use Goal ED-2
encourages the appropriate location and design of commercial facilities within the City. ED-
Z 2022 003
Chaher
Page 1 of 5
Page 56 of 173
2-B encourages the development of a wide range of commercial uses strategically located to
support local and regional needs.
6.ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for this
project. An environmental determination will be made after the public hearing for this
project. A Dete1mination of Non-Significance or Mitigated Determination ofNon
Significance is likely for this application (WAC 197-11-355).
7.REQUEST: Applicant is seeking to rezone the property at 3004 E George Street from RT
(Residential Transition) to C-3 (General Business) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
designation for the property.
8.SITE: The current RT zoning designation does not lend itself well to either sales or
development of the properties. Under the current Comprehensive Plan land use designation of
commercial the properties could be zoned for "O", C-1, C-2, C-3, CR, and BP zoning (C-2
zoning is only for the Central Business District).
9.HISTORY: The site was originally annexed into the City in 1979 (Ordinance 2016) as part
of what was called the "Columbia East Annexation Area," and assigned the Residential
Transition zoning designation (Resolution 1202). The RT zone is typically used as a holding
zone for areas that lack utility services. As utilities and infrastructure become available RT
zoned properties are then zoned to match the land use designations of the Comprehensive
Plan.
10.The Rada family owned the properties at the end of the old Kahlotus Highway (north of the
2700 block of E Lewis) for over 50 years. With the construction of the Lewis Street
interchange 3 homes were moved. During that period Heritage Boulevard was realigned and
some industrial uses have been developed to the west of the site. The property now contains
one site-built single-family dwelling unit, a garage, and two outbuildings. One late-model
manufactured home was recently removed from the site.
11.The site is currently accessed by a private road (Avery Avenue) which at one time was part of
the old Pasco Kahlotus Highway. An undeveloped City of Pasco right-of-way is locatedalong the west border of the site, running south to East Lewis Street, and will need to bedeveloped prior to or in conjunction with any commercial development on the site
12.REZONE CRITERIA: The initial review criteria for considering a rezone application are
explained in PMC 25.88.030. The criteria are listed below as follows:
12.1 The date the existing zone became effective:
12.1.1 The current zoning classification of RT (Residential Transition) became
effective on 2 January, 1979, upon annexation into the City.
12.2 The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
12.2. l Heritage Boulevard has been upgraded and realigned, and some industrial
uses have been developed to the west of the site. The site has been sold, and
the new owner wishes to utilize the site for semi-truck storage. Rezoning the
properties could facilitate development of the site.
Z 2022 003
Chaher
Page 2 of 5
Page 57 of 173
12.3 Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and
general welfare:
12.3. l The proposed zoning request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
which has been determined to be in the best interest of advancing public
health, safety and general welfare of the community. The rezone will allow
for development of commercial enterprises in the area, providing job
opportunities for Pasco residents. The effect on the property owner or owners
if the request is not granted:
12.4 The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent properties and the
Comprehensive Plan:
12.4.1 A change in zoning classification may ultimately result in the establishment
of commercial services consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Any
development will require developers to install/upgrade street, utilities and
landscaping in the area, thus improving the value of surrounding properties
on Lewis Street.
12.5 The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
12.5.l Because the RT zoning permits single family homes on a minimum of 5
acres for development, and the property comprises approximately 4.7 acres,
any current residential uses are by default legally nonconforming. The
property owner will be severely limited by the constraints of the RT zoning
designation in his ability to either develop or to sell the property.
13.Applicant wishes to rezone the property at 3004 E George Street from RT to C-3.
14.Applicant wishes to utilize the site for semi-truck storage.
15.The current Comprehensive Plan land use designation is Commercial
16.The Commercial land use designation allows for "O", C-1, C-2, C-3, CR, and BP zoning.
17.The property comprises approximately 4.7 acres.
18.The site was annexed into the City in 1979.
19.The site was assigned RT zoning in 1979 in conjunction with annexation.
20.Heritage Boulevard has been realigned.
21.Industrial uses have been developed to the west of the site.
22.The property contains one site-built single-family dwelling unit, a garage, and two
outbuildings.
23.The site is currently accessed by A very A venue, a private road.
24.Avery Avenue was formerly part of the Pasco Kahlotus Highway.
25.An undeveloped north-south City of Pasco right-of-way is located along the west border.
26.The undeveloped north-south City of Pasco right-of-way runs south to East Lewis Street.
27.The undeveloped north-south City of Pasco right-of-way will need to be developed prior to or
in conjunction with any commercial development on the site.
28.The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
29.The proposed zoning request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

30.The Comprehensive Plan has been determined to be in the best interest of advanc.ing public
health, safety, and general welfare of the community.
31.Any development will require developers to install/upgrade street, utilities and landscaping in
the area.
32.The RT zoning permits single family homes on a minimum of 5 acres for development.
33.Public notice of this hearing was sent to property owners within 300 feet of the property and
in the Tri-City Herald on May 24, 2022.
34.An open record public hearing after due legal notice was held June 8, 2022 via
videoconference.
35.The Applicant clid not testify.
36.No member of the public testified at the hearing.
37.The staff report, application materials, agency comments and the entire file of record were

38.Any Conclusion of Law that is more correctly a Finding of Fact is hereby incorporated as
such by this reference.
II.RECOMMENDED CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Before recommending approval of this rezone, the Hearing Examiner has developed findings of fact
from which to draw those conclusions based upon the criteria listed in PMC 25.86.060. The criteria
are as follows:
1.The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
1.1 The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and
Comprehensive Plan Policy LU-4-A, which recommends the City "Locate
commercial facilities at major street intersections to avoid commercial sprawl and
avoid disruptions of residential neighborhoods, and leverage major infrastructure
availability." The sites are within 1,000 feet of the intersection of two arterial streets;
Heritage Boulevard, a major truck route, and East Lewis Street.
2.The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental.
2.1 The immediate area is shown in the Comprehensive Plan for Commercial zoning.
Commercial zoning permits the C-3 (General Commercial Medium) zoning district.
The proposed rezone is consistent with the referenced plans and will not be
detrimental to future nearby developments that will need to conform to the provision
of the plans. The current structures are legally nonconforming and will remain that
way regardless of whether the zoning remains RT or changes to C-3.
3.There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.
3.1 The proposed zoning is consistent with the Plan's Land Use Map. The sites are
located within 1,000 feet of a major truck route (Heritage Boulevard);
Comprehensive Plan Policy LU-4-A requires the City to "Locate commercial
facilities at major street intersections to avoid commercial sprawl and avoid
disruptions of residential neighborhoods, and leverage major infrastructure

availability." The proposal is supported by land use goals and policies contained in
the Comprehensive Plan.
4.Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from the
proposal.
4.1 The Pasco Municipal Code includes design standards for commercial development. If
or when applicants pursue the development of these properties, they will be required
to conform to design standards established by the PMC. No special conditions are
proposed.
5.A Concomitant Agreement should be entered into between the City and the petitioner, and ifso, the terms and conditions of such an agreement.

APPLICANT: Vinod Kumar Chaher
4623 Tamarisk Dr
Pasco WA 99301
REQUEST: REZONE: RT (Residential Transition) to C-3 (General Commercial)
BACKGROUND
1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Legal: Lots 2 & 3, Short Plat 99-22 (Parcels 113780104 and 113780113).
General Location: 3004 and 3012 E George Street
Property Size: 7.43 acres
2. ACCESS: The site has access from East Lewis Street via an access easement (Avery Drive; formerly
Pasco Kahlotus Highway).
3. UTILITIES: The site is currently serviced by a well and on-site septic. Water is available via a 12” line
roughly 400 feet to the west running along the Avery Avenue centerline, and a 6” line approximately 600 feet
to the south on East Lewis Street; there is an 8” sewer line approximately 1,000 feet to the southwest at the
corner of Heritage Boulevard and East Lewis Street.
4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The lot is currently zoned RT (Residential Transition) and contains one single
family unit, a garage, and three outbuildings; a manufactured home was recently removed from the site.
Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows:
North: N/A US Highway 12
East: C-3 Vacant
South: I-1/C-1 Industrial
West: I-1 Industrial
5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for Commercial uses. Those
portions of the community designated for commercial development by the Comprehensive Plan could be
zone “O”, C-1, C-2, C-3 CR and BP. Land Use Goal ED-2 encourages the appropriate location and design of
commercial facilities within the City. ED-2-B encourages the development of a wide range of commercial uses
strategically located to support local and regional needs.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for this project. Based on
the State Environmental Policy Act (“SEPA”) checklist, Comprehensive Plan, applicable regulations, and other
information, a threshold determination resulting in a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued on
30 August 2018 for an identical rezone request on this property under WAC 197-11-158.

ANALYSIS
Proposal
Applicant is seeking to rezone the property at 3004 E George Street from RT (Residential Transition) to C-3
(General Business) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation for the property. The previous
owners of the subject property applied for an identical rezone in 2018 (Z 2018-005) but withdrew their
application between Planning Commission review and City Council action. Staff has invited the property
owner to the north to participate in the rezone, as that property was part of the prior project. That property
owner has agreed to be part of the annexation.
The current RT zoning designation does not lend itself well to either sales or development of the properties.
Under the current Comprehensive Plan land use designation of commercial the properties could be zoned
for “O”, C-1, C-2, C-3, CR, and BP zoning (C-2 zoning is only for the Central Business District).
The site was originally annexed into the City in 1979 (Ordinance 2016) as part of what was called the
“Columbia East Annexation Area,” and assigned the Residential Transition zoning designation (Resolution
1202). The RT zone is typically used as a holding zone for areas that lack utility services. As utilities and
infrastructure become available RT zoned properties are then zoned to match the land use designations of
the Comprehensive Plan.
The Rada family owned the properties at the end of the old Kahlotus Highway (north of the 2700 block of E
Lewis) for over 50 years. At one time 6 homes were located on the properties. With the construction of the
Lewis Street interchange 3 of the homes were moved. During that period Heritage Boulevard was realigned
and some industrial uses have been developed to the west of the site. The south property now contains one
site-built single-family dwelling unit and a garage/shop structure; one later model manufactured home was
recently removed from the site. The north property contains a manufactured home and several
commercial/industrial outbuildings.
The sites are currently accessed by a private road (Avery Avenue) which at one time was part of the old Pasco
Kahlotus Highway. An undeveloped City of Pasco right-of-way is located along the west border of the two
parcels, running south to East Lewis Street, and will need to be developed prior to or in conjunction with any
commercial development on the site.
This site is located within the Pasco Landfill Groundwater Protection Area (see City of Pasco Municipal Code
Section 16.15.060). The existing residences may be served by a private domestic water well. This domestic
water well, along with any other domestic water wells on the property should be decommissioned in
accordance with WAC 173-160 and all future water use on the property (domestic and landscaping) should
be sourced from the City of Pasco.
Rezone Criteria
The initial review criteria for considering a rezone application are explained in PMC. 25.88.030. The criteria
are listed below as follows:
1) The date the existing zone became effective:
The current zoning classification of RT (Residential Transition) became effective on 2 January, 1979,
upon annexation into the City.
2) The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
Heritage Boulevard has been upgraded and realigned, and some industrial uses have been developed
to the west of the site. The site has been sold, and the new owner wishes to utilize the site for semi-
truck storage; rezoning the properties could facilitate development of the site.
3) Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and general welfare:
Page 63 of 173
3
The proposed zoning request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan which has been determined
to be in the best interest of advancing public health, safety and general welfare of the community.
The rezone will allow for development of commercial enterprises in the area, providing job
opportunities for Pasco residents.
4) The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent properties and the Comprehensive
Plan:
A change in zoning classification may ultimately result in the establishment of commercial services
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Any development will require developers to install/upgrade
street, utilities and landscaping in the area, thus improving the value of surrounding properties on
Lewis Street.
5) The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
Because the RT zoning permits single family homes on a minimum of 5 acres for development, and
the properties comprise approximately 4.7 acres and 2.66 acres each, any current residential uses are
by default legally nonconforming. The property owners will be severely limited by the constraints of
the RT zoning designation in their ability to either develop or to sell the properties..
INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Findings of Fact must be entered from the record. The following are initial findings drawn from the
background and analysis section of the staff report. The Hearing Examiner may add additional findings to
this listing as the result of factual testimony and evidence submitted during the open record hearing.

the property (domestic and landscaping) should be sourced from the City of Pasco.
TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a special permit the Planning Commission must develop findings
of fact from which to draw its conclusions based upon the criteria listed in PMC 25.86.060. The criteria are
as follows:
1) The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan Policy
LU-4-A, which recommends the City “Locate commercial facilities at major street intersections to avoid
commercial sprawl and avoid disruptions of residential neighborhoods, and leverage major infrastructure
availability.” The sites are within 1,000 feet of the intersection of two arterial streets; Heritage Boulevard,
a major truck route, and East Lewis Street.
2) The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental.
The immediate area is shown in the Comprehensive Plan for Commercial zoning. Commercial zoning
permits the C-3 (General Commercial Medium) zoning district. The proposed rezone is consistent with the
referenced plans and will not be detrimental to future nearby developments that will need to conform to
the provision of the plans. The current structures are legally nonconforming and will remain that way
regardless of whether the zoning remains RT or changes to C-3.
3) There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.
The proposed zoning is consistent with the Plan’s Land Use Map. The sites are located within 1,000 feet
of a major truck route (Heritage Boulevard); Comprehensive Plan Policy LU-4-A requires the City to “Locate
commercial facilities at major street intersections to avoid commercial sprawl and avoid disruptions of
residential neighborhoods, and leverage major infrastructure availability.” The proposal is supported by
Page 65 of 173
5
land use goals and policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
4) Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from the proposal.
The Pasco Municipal Code includes design standards for commercial development. If or when applicants
pursue the development of these properties, they will be required to conform to design standards
established by the PMC. No special conditions are proposed.
5) A Concomitant Agreement should be entered into between the City and the petitioner, and if so, the
terms and conditions of such an agreement.
A Concomitant Agreement is not considered necessary for this application.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends based on the Findings of Fact and Conclusions that Lots 2 & 3, Short Plat 99-22 (Parcels
113780104 and 113780113) located at 3004 and 3012 E George Street be rezoned from RT (Residential
Transition) to C-3 (General Commercial).

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On June 8, 2022, the the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing to consider a
request to rezone property located south of East Helena Street between South
Road 30 East and Rama Court in Pasco, Washington from RT (Residential
Transition) to R-1 (Low-Density Residential).
Following the conduct of the public hearing, the Hearing Examiner
recommended approval of the applicant's request for a rezone.
No appeals of this recommendation have been received.
Page 87 of 173
V. DISCUSSION:
Applicant is seeking to rezone the property south of East Helena Street between
South Road 30 East and Rama Court from RT (Residential Transition) to R -1
(Low-Density Residential) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation
for the property.
The site was originally platted into Pasco in 1913 as part of the Washington
Addition to Pasco. The site was annexed into the City in 1994 and assigned RT
(Residential Transition) zoning (Ordinance 3033).
The RT zone is typically used as a holding zone for a reas that lack utility
services. As utilities and infrastructure become available RT zoned properties
are then zoned to align with the land use designations of the Comprehensive
Plan - as is the case with this rezone request.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance.

5.3 Land Use Goal LU-5: Maintain a broad range ofresidential land use designations to
accommodate a variety of lifestyles and housing opportunities.
5.4 Land Use Policy LU-5-A Policy: Allow a variety of residential densities throughout
the UGA.
5.5 Land Use Goal LU-6: Encourage distinctive quality community and regional
commercial and industrial developments that support the city's overall development
goals.
5.6 Housing Goal H-1: Encourage housing for all economic segments of the city's
population consistent with the local and regional market.
5.7 Housing Goal H-3: Encourage housing design and construction that ensures long
term sustainability and value.
5.8 Housing Goal H-4: Support efforts to provide affordable housing to meet the needs of
the community.
6.ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for this
project. Based on the State Environmental Policy Act ("SEPA") checklist, Comprehensive
Plan, applicable regulations, and other information, a threshold determination resulting in a
Determination of Non-Si gnificance (DNS) was issued on June 1, 2022 for this project under
WAC 197-11-158.
7.REQUEST: Applicant is seeking to rezone the property south of East Helena Street between
South Road 30 East and Rama Court from RT (Residential Transition) to R-1 (Low-Density
Residential) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation for the property. The
current RT zoning designation does not lend itself well to either sales or development of the
properties. Under the current Comprehensive Plan land use design ation of Low-Density
Residential the properties could be zoned R-S-20, R-S-12, R-S-1, R-1, R-1-A, and R-l-A2.
8.HISTORY: The site was originally platted into Pasco in 1913 as part of the Washington
Addition to Pasco, then de-annexed in 1921 (Ordinance 319) and subsequently (re)annexed
into the City in 1994 and assigned RT (Residential Transition) zoning (Ordinance 3033). The
RT zone is typically used as a holding zone for areas that lack utility services. As utilities and
infrastructure become available RT zoned properties are then zoned to align with the land use
designations of the Comprehensive Plan.
9.Rights-of-way were dedicated in conjunction with the original 1913 Washington Addition to
Pasco plat for both East Helena Street, located along the north property line of Block 5, and
South Sprague Avenue, which runs along the west side of block 5. East Helena Street has
been recently improved in conjunction with the Empire Estates subdivision to the north.
South Sprague Avenue will need to connect East Helena to East "A" Street in conjunction
with any future development.
10.This site lies within the Pasco Landfill Groundwater Protection Area (see City of Pasco
Municipal Code Section 16.15.060). Any domestic water wells on the property must be
decommissioned in accordance with WAC 173-160; all future water use on the property
(domestic and landscaping) must be sourced from the City of Pasco.
11.REZONE CRITERIA: The initial review criteria for considering a rezone application are
explained in PMC 25.88.030. The criteria are listed below as follows:
11.1 The date the existing zone became effective:
Z 2022 004
Broetje Orchards, LLC
Page 2 of 6
Page 92 of 173
11.1.1 The current zoning classification of RT (Residential Transition) became
effective on July 23, 1994, upon annexation into the City.
11.2 The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
11.2.1 Both low-and high-density residential uses have been developed to the east
of the site. Currently, this property is undeveloped; two new 1-million
square-foot Amazon fulfillment center buildings are currently under
construction nearby, as well as other sizable industrial developments;
c;;onsidering the new industries coming to the area there is an increased need
for affordable housing (both rental and home ownership) in Pasco.
11.3 Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and
general welfare:
12.3.1 The proposed zoning request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
which has been determined to be in the best interest of advancing public
health, safety and general welfare of the community. The rezone will allow
for development of Low-Density Residential uses in the area, providing
housing opportunities for Pasco residents.
11 .4 The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent properties and the
Comprehensive Plan:
11.4.1 A change in zoning classification may ultimately result in the development of
Low-Density Residential housing consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Any development will require developers to instaJl/upgrade street, utilities,
and landscaping in the area, thus improving the value of surrounding
properties.
11.5 The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
11.5.1 Because the RT zoning only permits a single family home on a minimum of
5 acres for development, and the property comprises approximately 2.1 7
acres, any proposed residential uses would be prohibited. Applicants will be
severely limited by the constraints of the RT zoning desi gn ation in their
ability to either develop or to sell the property.
12.Public notice of this hearing was sent to property owners within 300 feet of the property and
in the Tri-City Herald on May 24, 2022.
13. Applicant wishes to rezone the property south of East Helena Street between South Road 3 0
East and Rama Court from RT to R-1.
14.The site is Block 5 of the 1913 Washington Addition to Pasco plat.
15.The site was annexed into the City and assigned RT zoning in 1994 in conjunction with
annexation.
16.The site comprises approximately 2.17 acres.
17.The site is vacant.

ANALYSIS
Proposal
Applicant is seeking to rezone the property south of East Helena Street between South Road 30 East and
Rama Court from RT (Residential Transition) to R-1 (Low-Density Residential) consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan designation for the property.
The current RT zoning designation does not lend itself well to either sales or development of the properties.
Under the current Comprehensive Plan land use designation of Low-Density Residential the properties could
be zoned R-S-20, R-S-12, R-S-1, R-1, R-1-A, and R-1-A2.
History
The site was originally platted into Pasco in 1913 as part of the Washington Addition to Pasco, then de-
annexed in 1921 (Ordinance 319) and subsequently (re)annexed into the City in 1994 and assigned RT
(Residential Transition) zoning (Ordinance 3033). The RT zone is typically used as a holding zone for areas
that lack utility services. As utilities and infrastructure become available RT zoned properties are then zoned
to align with the land use designations of the Comprehensive Plan.
Rights-of-way were dedicated in conjunction with the original 1913 Washington Addition to Pasco plat for
both East Helena Street, located along the north property line of Block 5, and South Sprague Avenue, which
runs along the west side of block 5. East Helena Street has been recently improved in conjunction with the
Empire Estates subdivision to the north. South Sprague Avenue will need to connect East Helena to East “A
Street in conjunction with any future development.
This site lies within the Pasco Landfill Groundwater Protection Area (see City of Pasco Municipal Code Section
16.15.060). Any domestic water wells on the property must be decommissioned in accordance with WAC
173-160; all future water use on the property (domestic and landscaping) must be sourced from the City of
Pasco.
Rezone Criteria
The initial review criteria for considering a rezone application are explained in PMC. 25.88.030. The criteria
are listed below as follows:
1) The date the existing zone became effective:
The current zoning classification of RT (Residential Transition) became effective on 23 July 1994, upon
annexation into the City.
2) The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
Page 99 of 173
3
Both low- and high-density residential uses have been developed to the east of the site. Currently, this property
is undeveloped; two new 1-million-square-foot Amazon fulfillment center buildings are currently under
construction nearby, as well as other sizable industrial developments; considering the new industries coming
to the area there is an increased need for affordable housing (both rental and home ownership) in Pasco.
3) Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and general welfare:
The proposed zoning request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan which has been determined to be in
the best interest of advancing public health, safety, and general welfare of the community. The rezone will
allow for development of Low-Density Residential uses in the area, providing housing opportunities for Pasco
residents.
4) The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent properties and the Comprehensive
Plan:
A change in zoning classification may ultimately result in the development of Low-Density Residential housing
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Any development will require developers to install/upgrade street,
utilities, and landscaping in the area, thus improving the value of surrounding properties.
5) The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
Because the RT zoning only permits a single family home on a minimum of 5 acres for development, and the
property comprises approximately 2.17 acres, any proposed residential uses would be prohibited. Applicants
will be severely limited by the constraints of the RT zoning designation in their ability to either develop or to
sell the property.

TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a special permit the Planning Commission must develop findings
of fact from which to draw its conclusions based upon the criteria listed in PMC 25.86.060. The criteria are
as follows:
1) The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposal supports the following Comprehensive plan goals: Land Use Goal LU-3: Maintain established
neighborhoods and ensure new neighborhoods are safe and enjoyable places to live; Land Use Goal LU-4:
Increase community accessibility through proper land use planning; Land Use Goal LU-5: Maintain a broad
range of residential land use designations to accommodate a variety of lifestyles and housing opportunities;
Land Use Policy LU-5-A Policy: Allow a variety of residential densities throughout the UGA; Land Use Goal LU-
6: Encourage distinctive quality community and regional commercial and industrial developments that
support the city’s overall development goals; Housing Goal H-1: Encourage housing for all economic segments
of the city’s population consistent with the local and regional market; Housing Goal H-3: Encourage housing
design and construction that ensures long term sustainability and value; Housing Goal H-4: Support efforts to
provide affordable housing to meet the needs of the community.
2) The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental.
Both low- and high-density residential uses have been developed to the east of the site. Currently, this property
is undeveloped; the immediate area is shown in the Comprehensive Plan for Low-Density Residential zoning.
Low-Density Residential zoning permits the R-1 (General Commercial Medium) zoning district. The proposed
rezone is consistent with the referenced plans and will not be detrimental to future nearby developments that

The proposed zoning is consistent with the Plan’s Land Use Map. Land Use Goal LU-3 requires the
City to maintain established neighborhoods and ensure new neighborhoods are safe and enjoyable places to
live; Land Use Goal LU-4 directs the city to increase community accessibility through proper land use planning;
Land Use Goal LU-5 requires the City to maintain a broad range of residential land use designations to
accommodate a variety of lifestyles and housing opportunities; Land Use Policy LU-5-A suggests the city allow
a variety of residential densities throughout the UGA; Housing Goal H-1 directs the City to encourage housing
for all economic segments of the city’s population consistent with the local and regional market; Housing Goal
H-3 requires the city to encourage housing design and construction that ensures long term sustainability and
value; Housing Goal H-4 tells the city to support efforts to provide affordable housing to meet the needs of
the community. The proposal is supported by land use goals and policies contained in the Comprehensive
Plan.
4) Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from the proposal.
The Pasco Municipal Code includes design standards for Low-Density Residential development. If or when
applicants pursue the development of these properties, they will be required to conform to design standards
established by the PMC. No special conditions are proposed.
5) A Concomitant Agreement should be entered into between the City and the petitioner, and if so, the
terms and conditions of such an agreement.
A Concomitant Agreement is not considered necessary for this application.

V. DISCUSSION:
Applicant is seeking to rezone the property north of East “A” Street approximately
650 feet east of Heritage Boulevard from RT (Residential Transition) to R -4
(High-Density Residential) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation
for the property.
The site was originally platted into Pasco in 1913 as part of the Washington
Addition to Pasco. The site was annexed into the City in 1994 and assigned RT
(Residential Transition) zoning (Ordinance No. 3033).
The RT zone is typically used as a holding zone for areas that lack utility
services. As utilities and infrastructure become available RT zoned properties
are then zoned to align with the land use designations of the Comprehensive
Plan.
Both high- and low-density residential uses have been developed to the east of
the site.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance.

Page 126 of 173
patio homes, townhouses, apartments and condominiums at a density of 5 to 29 dwelling
units per acre and may be developed with neighborhood shopping and specialty centers,
business parks, service and office uses. Comprehensive Plan Mixed Residential/Commercial
areas may be zoned R-1 through R-4, C-1, "O," and Waterfront. The proposal supports the
following Comprehensive plan goals:
5.1 Land Use Goal LU-2: Plan for a variety of compatible land uses within the UGA.
5.2 Land Use Goal LU-3: Maintain established neighborhoods and ensure new
neighborhoods are safe and enjoyable places to live.
5.3 Land Use Goal LU-4: Increase community accessibility through proper land use
planning.
5.4 Land Use Goal LU-5: Maintain a broad range of residential land use desi gnations to
accommodate a variety of lifestyles and housing opportunities.
5.5 Land Use Policy LU-5-A Pol icy: Allow a variety of residential densities throughout
the UGA.

commercial and industrial developments that support the city's overall development
goals.

population consistent with the local and regional market.
5.8 Housing Goal H-3: Encourage housing design and construction that ensures long
term sustainability and value.
5.9 Housing Goal H-4: Support efforts to provide affordable housing to meet the needs of
the community.
6.ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for this
project. Based on the State Environmental Policy Act ("SEPA") checklist, Comprehensive
Plan, applicable regulations, and other information, a threshold determination resulting in a
Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued on June 1, 2022 for this project under
WAC 197-11-158.
7.REQUEST: Applicant is seeking to rezone the property north of East "A" Street
approximately 650 feet east of Heritage Boulevard from RT (Residential Transition) to R-4
(High-Density Residential) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan desi gnation for theproperty.
8.HISTORY: The site was originally platted into Pasco in 1913 as part of the Washington
Addition to Pasco, then de-annexed in 1921 (Ordinance 319) and subsequently (re)annexed
into the City in 1994 and assigned RT (Residential Transition) zoning (Ordinance 3033). The
RT zone is typically used as a holding zone for areas that lack utility services. As utilities and
infrastructure become available RT zoned properties are then zoned to align with the land use
designations of the Comprehensive Plan.
9.Rights-of-way were dedicated in conjunction with the original 1913 Washington Addition to
Pasco plat for both East Butte Street, located along the north property line of Blocks 11 & 12,
South Spokane Street, which aligns with the west line of Block 11, and South Sprague Street,
which runs through the middle of blocks 11 & 12. At least one north-south street wi 11 need to
connect East Helena to East "A Street in conjunction with any future development.

Page 127 of 173
10.This site is located within the Pasco Landfill Groundwater Protection Area (see City of Pasco
Municipal Code Section 16.15 .060). The existing residences may be served by a private
domestic water well. This domestic water well, along with any other domestic water wells on
the property must be decommissioned in accordance with WAC 173-160 and all future water
use on the property (domestic and landscaping) must be sourced from the City of Pasco.
11.REZONE CRITERIA: The initial review criteria for considering a rezone application are
explained in PMC 25.88.030. The criteria are listed below as follows:
11.1 The date the existing zone became effective:
11.1.1 The current zoning classification of RT (Residential Transition) became
effective on July 23, 1994, upon annexation into the City.
11.2 The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
11.2.1 Both high-and low-density residential uses have been developed to the east
of the site. Currently, this property is undeveloped; two new 1-million
square-foot Amazon fulfillment center buildings are currently under
construction nearby, as well as other sizable industrial developments; the
number and scale of new industries coming to the area suggest an increased
need for affordable housing (both rental and home ownership) in Pasco ..
11.3 Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and
general welfare:
12.3.l Under the current Comprehensive Plan land use designation of Mixed
Residential/Commercial the properties could be zoned R-1 through R-4, C-1,
"O," and Waterfront. The proposed zoning request is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan which has been determined to be in the best interest of
advancing public health, safety, and general welfare of the community. The
rezone will allow for development of Mixed Residential/Commercial uses in
the area, providing commercial and residential opportunities for Pasco
residents. The current RT zoning designation does not lend itself well to
either sales or development of the properties.
11.4 The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent properties and the Comprehensive Plan:
11.4.1 A change in zoning classification may ultimately result in the development of
Mixed Residential/Commercial development consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan. Any development will require developers to
install/upgrade street, utilities, and landscaping in the area, thus improving
the value of surrounding properties.
11.5 The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
11.5.1 Because the RT zoning only permits only one single-family home per 5
acres, and the property comprises approximately 4.34 acres, the existing
residences are considered legal non-conforming; as such, any new additional
residential uses would be prohibited with the current zoning. Applicants will
be severely limited by the constraints of the RT zoning designation in their
ability to either develop or to sell the property.
12.Public notice of this hearing was sent to property owners within 300 feet of the property and

Before recommending approval of this rezone, the Hearing Examiner has developed findings of fact
from which to draw those conclusions based upon the criteria listed in PMC 25.86.060. The criteria
are as follows:
1.The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
1.1 The proposal supports the following Comprehensive plan goals: Land Use Goal LU-
3: Maintain established nei ghborhoods and ensure new neighborhoods are safe and
enjoyable places to live; Land Use Goal LU-4: Increase community accessibility
through proper land use planning; Land Use Goal LU-5: Maintain a broad range of
residential land use desi gnations to accommodate a variety of lifestyles and housing
opportunities; Land Use Policy LU-5-A Policy: Allow a variety of residential
densities throughout the UGA; Land Use Goal LU-6: Encourage distinctive quality

2.The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental.
2.1 Both high-and low-density residential uses have been developed to the east of the
site. Currently, this property contains one SFDU, one duplex, and a garage, which are
slated for demolition as part of future development; the area is desi gnated Mixed
Residential/Commercial zoning on the Comprehensive Plan Map. Mixed
Residential/Commercial zoning permits the R-4 (High-Density Residential) zoning
district. The proposed rezone is consistent with the referenced plans.
3.There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.
3.1 The proposed zoning is consistent with the Plan's Land Use Map. Land Use Goal

ANALYSIS
Proposal
Applicant is seeking to rezone the property north of East “A” Street approximately 650 feet east of Heritage

both East Butte Street, located along the north property line of Blocks 11 & 12, South Spokane Street, which
aligns with the west line of Block 11, and South Sprague Street, which runs through the middle of blocks 11
& 12. At least one north-south street will need to connect East Helena to East “A Street in conjunction with
any future development.
This site is located within the Pasco Landfill Groundwater Protection Area (see City of Pasco Municipal Code
Section 16.15.060). The existing residences may be served by a private domestic water well. This domestic
water well, along with any other domestic water wells on the property must be decommissioned in
accordance with WAC 173-160 and all future water use on the property (domestic and landscaping) must be
sourced from the City of Pasco.
Rezone Criteria
Page 134 of 173
3
The initial review criteria for considering a rezone application are explained in PMC. 25.88.030. The criteria
are listed below as follows:
1) The date the existing zone became effective:
The current zoning classification of RT (Residential Transition) became effective on 23 July 1994, upon
annexation into the City.
2) The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
Both high- and low-density residential uses have been developed to the east of the site. Currently, this property
is undeveloped; two new 1-million-square-foot Amazon fulfillment center buildings are currently under
construction nearby, as well as other sizable industrial developments; the number and scale of new industries
coming to the area suggest an increased need for affordable housing (both rental and home ownership) in
Pasco.
3) Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and general welfare:
Under the current Comprehensive Plan land use designation of Mixed Residential/Commercial the properties
could be zoned R-1 through R-4, C-1, “O,” and Waterfront. The proposed zoning request is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan which has been determined to be in the best interest of advancing public health,
safety, and general welfare of the community. The rezone will allow for development of Mixed
Residential/Commercial uses in the area, providing commercial and residential opportunities for Pasco
residents. The current RT zoning designation does not lend itself well to either sales or development of the
properties.
4) The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent properties and the Comprehensive
Plan:
A change in zoning classification may ultimately result in the development of Mixed Residential/Commercial
development consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Any development will require developers to
install/upgrade street, utilities, and landscaping in the area, thus improving the value of surrounding
properties.
5) The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
Because the RT zoning only permits only one single-family home per 5 acres, and the property comprises
approximately 4.34 acres, the existing residences are considered legal non-conforming; as such, any new
additional residential uses would be prohibited with the current zoning. Applicants will be severely limited by
the constraints of the RT zoning designation in their ability to either develop or to sell the property.
INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT

11. The South Spokane Avenue right-of-way runs along the west side Block 11.
12. The South Sprague Avenue right-of-way runs between Blocks 11 & 12.
13. At least one north-south street will need to connect East Helena to East “A Street in conjunction
with any future development.
14. The proposed zoning request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
15. The Comprehensive Plan has been determined to be in the best interest of advancing public health,
safety, and general welfare of the community.
16. Any development will require developers to install/upgrade street, utilities and landscaping in the

TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a special permit the Planning Commission must develop findings
of fact from which to draw its conclusions based upon the criteria listed in PMC 25.86.060. The criteria are
as follows:
1) The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposal supports the following Comprehensive plan goals: Land Use Goal LU-3: Maintain established
neighborhoods and ensure new neighborhoods are safe and enjoyable places to live; Land Use Goal LU-4:
Increase community accessibility through proper land use planning; Land Use Goal LU-5: Maintain a broad
Page 136 of 173
5
range of residential land use designations to accommodate a variety of lifestyles and housing opportunities;
Land Use Policy LU-5-A Policy: Allow a variety of residential densities throughout the UGA; Land Use Goal LU-
6: Encourage distinctive quality community and regional commercial and industrial developments that
support the city’s overall development goals; Housing Goal H-1: Encourage housing for all economic segments
of the city’s population consistent with the local and regional market; Housing Goal H-3: Encourage housing
design and construction that ensures long term sustainability and value; Housing Goal H-4: Support efforts to
provide affordable housing to meet the needs of the community.
2) The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental.
Both high- and low-density residential uses have been developed to the east of the site. Currently, this property
contains one SFDU, one duplex, and a garage, which are slated for demolition as part of future development;
the area is designated Mixed Residential/Commercial zoning on the Comprehensive Plan Map. Mixed
Residential/Commercial zoning permits the R-4 (High-Density Residential) zoning district. The proposed
rezone is consistent with the referenced plans.
3) There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.
The proposed zoning is consistent with the Plan’s Land Use Map. Land Use Goal LU-3 requires the
City to maintain established neighborhoods and ensure new neighborhoods are safe and enjoyable places to
live; Land Use Goal LU-4 directs the city to increase community accessibility through proper land use planning;
Land Use Goal LU-5 requires the City to maintain a broad range of residential land use designations to
accommodate a variety of lifestyles and housing opportunities; Land Use Policy LU-5-A suggests the city allow
a variety of residential densities throughout the UGA; Housing Goal H-1 directs the City to encourage housing
for all economic segments of the city’s population consistent with the local and regional market; Housing Goal
H-3 requires the city to encourage housing design and construction that ensures long term sustainability and
value; Housing Goal H-4 tells the city to support efforts to provide affordable housing to meet the needs of
the community. The proposal is supported by land use goals and policies contained in the Comprehensive
Plan.
4) Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from the proposal.
The Pasco Municipal Code includes design standards for Mixed Residential/Commercial development. If or
when applicants pursue the development of these properties, they will be required to conform to design
standards established by the PMC. No special conditions are proposed.
5) A Concomitant Agreement should be entered into between the City and the petitioner, and if so, the
terms and conditions of such an agreement.
A Concomitant Agreement is not considered necessary for this application.

FROM: Steve Worley, Director
Public Works
SUBJECT: *Ordinance & Resolution - Budget Amendment & Bid Award for West
Pasco Water Treatment Plant Expansion (Phase 2)
I. REFERENCE(S):
Resolution
Ordinance
Recommendation of Award
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. _______, awarding Bid No. 21297
for the West Pasco Water Treatment Plant Expansion Phase 2 project to Apollo,
Inc. of Pasco, Washington, and further, authorize the City Manager to execute
the contract documents and allowing all necessary budget adjustments.
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. ______, amending the 2021 -2022
Biennial Budget of the City of Pasco, Washington, by providing supplement
thereto; to provide additional appropriation in the City's water fund for the
construction of the West Pasco Water Treatment Plant Improvements Phase 2.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Contract Total $13,606,000.00
Budget
2021-2022 Adopted budget: $8,300,000 for this project.
In May 2022, the City received a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund low-
interest loan in the amount of $9,753,258.92. In 2021, Council approved
$9,000,000 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for eligible utility
projects to reduce the impact of rate increases on utility customers. Staff is
Page 157 of 173
proposing the utilization of $3,000,000 of the ARPA funds available for this
project.
The proposed budget amendment reflects the increase in the budget as a
result of this funding award. It also addresses the funding shortfall experienced
in this project as a consequence of current market conditions and material
scarcity, especially affecting piping, mechanical and electrical components.
Staff continues to coordinate closely on cash flow and funding availability to
support the completion of this critical project and others relying on the same
fund.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Design, permitting, and final costs estimates for this project were completed in
June 2022. Phase 2 project consists of the a set of improvements to expand the
distribution capacity of the West Pasco Water Treatment Plant (WPWTP) from
6 million gallons per day (MGD) to 12 MGD, and complements the improvements
underway as part of Phase 1 (membrane filters and other treatment
improvements).
The scope of work includes the installation of a booster pump station providing
the pumping capability to pressure zones 1 and 3, upgrades to the intake pump
station on the Columbia river, partial upgrades to the electrical backup, and
changes to the site to support the expanded operational processes. Design for
Phase 2 has been cognizant of future phases.
Future phases are:
• Phase 3 will provide redundancy to the system to ensure 12MGD firm
capacity.
• Phase 4 will allow the WPWTP to produce 18 MGD.
The improvements at this facility provide cost-effective resiliency for the City’s
water system as the main water treatment facility (Butterfield WTP) is aging and
will be undergoing planned and extensive improvements in the coming years.
Increasing distribution capacity at WPWTP provides for additional supply to meet
current and future potable water demands, as well as provide much -needed
supply redundancy for existing water customers. With the planned
improvements to the Butterfield plant on the near-horizon, there is some urgency
for the completion of these WPWTP improvements.
V. DISCUSSION:
The project was advertised for bids on June 17, 2022. On July 13, 2022 bids
were publicly opened. A total of three (3) bids were received.
Page 158 of 173
The lowest responsible, responsive bidder is Apollo, Inc. of Pasco, WA in the
amount of $10,349,688.60. The Engineer's Estimate is $13,606,000.
Bid Tabs
Apollo, Inc. $10,349,688.60
Rotschy, Inc. $11,752,644.00
Clearwater Construction Management $12,178,856.70

submittal and found no exemptions or irregularities.
Due to the criticality of this project, staff recommends award of the con tract to

Both opportunities presented themselves subsequent to the approval of the
biennial budget; purchase of the property, and the need to expedite development
of Fire Station 85 due to increased call volumes and anticipated development in
the Broadmoor area. As such neither item was included in the adopted biennial
budget. An ordinance allowing for adjustment to the budget is necessary to
formalize the two appropriations.
